alone with the dark

   
i lie awake & silently scream at night  
the dark crowds in  
with violent whispers  
   
i see my flaws  
they converge on me  
& surround my trembling soul  
   
they're the monsters  
i carry in the day  
concealed under    
well applied makeup  
& my smiling face  
   
if people looked closer  
they would see    
the cracks in my veneer  
i've slipped sideways  
in my thoughts  
the fall is coming  
i feel it    
   
i walk a fine line  
between sane & insane  
hanging on to what's left of reality  
   
as the dark crowds in on me  
& whispers violently    
of a lady letting go  
   
swimming in a vomit of lies
drowned by my own deceit  
to my horror i realize  
the voices are right
